What really makes me wonder is that when I hit about 52 miles per hour, all of a sudden, I can jump from there to 70 with no problem at all. It's actually surprising how quick it gets after 52 mph. But getting to 52 seems to take forever.

Just wondering. Let's here it.
From what I've read Marty your truck is normal. Even in perfect mechanical condition you wouldn't see much more improvements. An automatic FJ62 and even the 80's don't have that much get up and go but thats not what they were made for and they are some heavy beasts.
